Great, quiet campground. There are no water, electrical, or sewage hookups, but there is water available and a dump station. Just need to mind your battery or have a generator. Our site was very shaded by trees so solar didn’t do much. Great stay though!

Absolutely love the campground. Beautiful scenery. But if you want the best sites you will have to do it way in advance but it is totally worth it!

Great to see the end of the season at JR. Best sites right on the lake and so quiet. Managers are great!
Still wish that A loop would remain open through the end of the season even if it meant closing C loop. There seems to be more RV campers than tent campers in October and A&B loops are best suited for RVs while still being great for tenters too.

JRB is like an old friend: comforting, familiar, new every morning and in whose company we desire to be in. Discussions of bath houses, campsite maintenance, boat launch amenities and the rest are just window dressing. Thanks to all of the people at JRM who obviously work very hard at keeping it a special place.

Beautiful, quiet, peaceful location. Well laid out campground that allows for community yet privacy.

We stayed in loop C for over a week and had a wonderful time. Beautiful views, lovely nature, great places to walk and nice to just hang at your campsite. Warm showers were a nice plus! The hosts were great and made us feel at home while we were there.

The campsite is in a beautiful location right on the lake. End of October was a great time to come, as the fall colors were really pretty. The spot was nice and had what we needed. The access to the mountain bike trails was great too. I definitely plan to come camp here again!

Jackrabbit Campground is amazing! However, there is zero privacy between this particular site and the neighbors' site, and our neighbors bickered non-stop. We did end up filing a complaint with the campground hosts after a sleepless night due to their bickering.
Site A15 and A13 are great for groups who want more space, but beware if you are single campers as there is not a single tree or buffer between these two sites.
